A group of 5th grade students from Mrs. Melody Johnson's class at Regina-Howell Elementary recently celebrated the completion of a financial literacy program provided through a partnership with the BBVA Compass Future Builders Program.
BBVA Compass & the NBA have donated the EverFi's Vault curriculum--a 3 hour online program to teach students the basics on personal finance-- to all the elementary schools in Beaumont ISD. In addition to receiving a certificate of acheivement and completion, students demonstrated all that they learned in a competitive game of "Understanding Money Jeopardy."
Mrs. Johnson is the first teacher to successfully complete the program in Beaumont ISD and looks forward to implementing it again next year.
